The last time they showed MP3 (I think it was Leipzig) it was still using the bounding-box, but accounts said they got it feeling much better than Red Steel/MoH/CoD/etc... Of course, it's almost been a year, and they could have changed since then. They said it wouldn't ship until it's perfect, and the controls are part of that.
Or better, get the PDFCreator program for Windows, which installs a PDF printer to "print" PDF from anything. As an added bonus, it's GPL, which should please the OSS zealots here. If you're not on Windows, GNOME, KDE, and as parent mentioned, OSX have native PDF facilites
Once again, the TPM chips are only "treacherous" if you don't have control over the software using them. There's drivers in the Linux kernel to let you use the TPM to encrypt stuff, and there's a variant of GRUB (Trusted GRUB) that keeps you from taking the HD from a laptop and booting somewhere else.
I use Ubuntu on most of my machines. However, I'd also like to be able to do the following when I buy a computer:
1) Plug it in 2) Turn it on 3) Start working (or playing, etc.)
The fact that Dell is selling Ubuntu-loaded machines means I don't have to add a "Download and install Ubuntu, and spend an hour tweaking everything 'till it sorta works" step in there.
I know for a fact KDE (and I think Gnome 2.18) has a desktop-wide spell checker that works in pretty much every kdelib (or libgnome) app (I've noticed in Konqueror, Kopete, Firefox and G^HPidgin)
Actually, their First Amendment rights would still hold. Trick is, all they protect is the video itself. They still don't keep you from being convicted of murder. In fact, those same rights you invoked putting the video up more or less do the convicting for the court.
Two theories: 1) Microsoft simply won't give you the "Games for Windows" stamp if your game runs in anything under WinXP 2) Something in the DirectX SDK (not necessarily features) forces them to make it WinXP only
How's Lenovo (owner of IBM's former PC division for those who don't know) hold up nowdays? I've been hearing great things about the ThinkPads (as always), but I've been wondering about their desktops, and the 3000 series (consumer-line) notebooks. Do they share the same reputation as the ThinkPads? First-hand experience welcome
And then imagine a train (or bus) full of people reading Slashdot on their e-paper, tightly clustered together. For no reason at all, let's call this train the Beowulf train.
The way I understand it (IAADCCA*), there are the big credit card companies (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AmEx, etc.). There are also debit card companies (STAR, plus, pulse, etc.). Debit cards are set up to either run over the debit networks (STAR in my case), in which case you swipe the card and dial a PIN, or the credit networks, where you just sign for it like any other credit card. Either way, the money comes directly from your bank account. But, if there's a place that doesn't take debit cards (or vice versa), you just run it as credit.
It takes a console command to enable root in Ubuntu (precisley, sudo passwd root). Hopefully the Dellusers won't be doing too much mucking around in the console. They have a better shot of accidentally pulling a sudo rm -rf / than turning root on (and it's probably better that way)
I've heard reports ranging from somewhat unstable, to Just Plain Broken (me). Therefore, I'm ignoring it until it's matured. It still needs firmwares anyway, so it's still not plug-n-play
Unfortunatley, Broadcom cards still require ndiswrapper. You can set it up one of two ways:
1) Have your Windows wifi drivers on a CD or thumbdrive If you don't mind the command-line (skip to 2b for GUI): 2a) sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 3a) sudo ndiswrapper -i/path/to/driver.inf (replace/path/to/driver.inf with location of your driver, usually bcmwl5.inf in my experience) 4a) sudo ndiswrapper -m 5a) sudo gedit/etc/modules, add ndiswrapper to the bottom of the file, save&quit 6a) reboot
However, if you rather shiny wizards... 2b) System->Administration->Synaptic, search for ndisgtk and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, install them 3b) System->Administration->Windows Wireless Drivers, Install New Driver, follow directions

Besides the actual hardware, I've never heard the Inspirons be called "sturdy"
Dell has said that they will have drivers for their modem

A list of the twelve companies, please?

And the entire list is tar.gz'd up and put on your file-sharing service of choice in 5..4..3..2..1..
I think you're looking for something more along the lines of "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tyres-frontleft"

How about implementing virtual face-punching? Or, as they are better known around these parts, mod points

So modern paper technology has finally caught up with Harry Potter :)

Debit/ATM cards draw from your bank account, and therefore, you cannot spend more than you have. I would know. I tried :(
Guideworks sounds better than MS... ...but does it run Linux? If not, what?
If you re-read the GP, he was talking about enabling the root account (as in logging in as root)

Actually, yes it does, on both counts
XO already is built heavily on Python, and even has a "View Source" key. We're screwed already
